Refer to the General field to review assess the radio's factory encoded hardware MAC address, the
radio index assigned by the administrator, the 802.11 radio type, its current operational state, the
radio's AP hostname assigned by an administrator, its current operating channel and power.
Radio MAC Lists the hardware encoded MAC address of each listed top performing RF Domain member device
radio.
RF Band Displays the top performing radio’s operation band. This may help administrate whether more
changes were required in the 2.4 GHz band then 5 GHz or vice versa.
AP Name Lists the administrator assigned Access Point name used to differentiate from other RF Domain
member Access Point radios.
Power Changes Displays the number of Smart RF initiated power level changes reported for this top performing RF
Domain member radio.
Channel Changes Displays the number of Smart RF initiated channel changes reported for this top performing RF
Domain member radio.
Coverage Changes Displays the number of Smart RF initiated coverage changes reported for this top performing RF
Domain member radio.
Time Period Lists the frequency Smart RF activity is trended for the RF Domain. Trending periods include the
Current Hour, Last 24 Hours or the Last Seven Days. Comparing Smart RF adjustments versus the
last seven days enables an administrator to assess whether periods of interference and poor
performance were relegated to just specific periods.
Power Changes Displays the number of Smart RF initiated power level changes needed for RF Domain member
devices during each of the three trending periods. Determine whether power compensations were
relegated to known device outages or if compensations were consistent over the course of a day or
week.
Channel Changes Lists the number of Smart RF initiated channel changes needed for RF Domain member devices
during each of the three trending periods. Determine if channel adjustments were relegated to
known device count increases or decreases over the course of a day or week.
Coverage Changes Displays the number of Smart RF initiated coverage changes needed for RF Domain member
devices during each of the three trending periods. Determine if coverage changes were relegated to
known device failures or known periods of interference over the course of a day or week.
